Husband made the crust. His half of the pizza was traditional. My half had a lot of pesto, basil, feta, etc. Oh, my, what a tasty treat!!!
Pros: Super Flavor; loved the marriage of the basil, pesto, and feta
Cons: Not enough leftovers.

Don't try in your oven!!!!
The oil from the pesto liquifies and runs off the pizza stone or baking sheet down into your oven. It creates awful smoke and is practically impossible to clean. What a nightmare!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: None
Cons: Ruins your oven

Super Easy and Delish
We have so much basil in our garden this year and looking for new recipes to use pesto. This one is nice and easy. I purchased pizza dough from an Italian restaurant. Cleaned the grill and oiled it. The pizza was nice an puffy in no time. In fact a little burned in some spots.So keep a close watch, we should have maybe cooked with a little less heat. Once flipped we added the tomato, feta cheese and some sliced kalmata olives. We then turned off the heat and let it sit for about 3 more minutes. We will definitely try this one again. Maybe with marinara sauce too! The crust was crunchy! YUM!
Pros: All our favorite flavors in one quick easy to make meal
Cons: watch the pizza dough, it can burn easily

Fantastic and easy!
Tasted delicious and with prep and cooking, this only took us about 15-20 min. Next time we're going to try some kalamta olives and artichoke hearts! :)
Pros: easy to make, short prep and cook time.
Cons: dough can be difficult to stretch by hand

This is a spectacular pizza! Despite some ups and downs with the crust (which I also made from scratch with an EatingWell recipe, this is incredibly tasty, incredibly fast, and incredibly impressive.
